Pump noises in underfloor heating, pump in living room, noise disturbance

Thank you for the critical remarks.

However, I do not see it as a problem to connect the building to the shared technical center with the district heating transfer station via a supply shaft. This is now common practice in many larger construction projects. By the way, there is also a utility room (1st floor) in which the washing machine and dryer are housed. However, housing the heating system (underfloor heating) for the ground floor in this room is neither planned nor desired.

The only concern for us is the additional "central unit" for the underfloor heating in the living/dining area and thereby potential disturbances due to operating noises. Therefore, once again the question of whether someone can provide explicit information on this.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

However, I do not see it as a problem to connect the house to the common technical center with a district heating transfer station via a supply shaft. This is now common practice in many larger construction projects.

That was not the point my question was aiming at; where the transfer station is installed in the house, the remaining technology is usually connected.

By the way, there is also a utility room (1st floor) where a washing machine and dryer are accommodated. However, installing the heating system (underfloor heating) for the ground floor in this room is neither planned nor desired.

Why – because of costs? Connected to that, the question of why you even divide the heat carrier into underfloor heating and radiators?

Rhenish regards

....However, accommodating the heating system (underfloor heating) for the ground floor in this room is neither planned nor desired.

;-)

....The only concern for us is the additional "control unit" for the underfloor heating in the living/dining area and thus possible disturbances from operating noises.

If these are the only concerns, a macroeconomic consideration is likely unwanted. Everyone should do what they think is right! If warning advice from experts is not desired, good luck with your cozy home! ;-)

Best regards

Hello €uro,

we did not want to offend anyone.

Of course, we are grateful for tips and critical comments. However, questioning the entire project does not help either. Naturally, it is important to us to ensure optimal district heating supply and to avoid a money pit in the long run. However, one must also consider the economic reasons why one decides on such a construction project and does not take another, more common route.

Here in the greater Frankfurt area, suitable properties are hard to find, both financially and in terms of comfort (due to the further expansion of Frankfurt Airport, many communities suffer from constant noise pollution).

Outside the metropolitan areas, one is certainly faced with other problems which, from an overall economic perspective, might lead to a decision against this project. Our decision for this project has matured over a long time and, under the above-mentioned aspects, is almost a stroke of luck for us.

Since the developer only offers underfloor heating on the ground floor, and the control center is also to be connected on the ground floor (upstairs are adjacent bedrooms and children's rooms), unfortunately, there is no other option.

Thank you and best regards, Marico

...I do not see coupling the house to the shared technical center with district heating transfer station via a supply shaft as a problem. This has now become common practice in many larger construction projects.

Neither is it! Please do not misunderstand, I do not want to deter anyone from their intention, but merely provide comments where possible! ;-)

..By the way, there is also a utility room (1st floor) in which the washing machine and dryer are housed. However, placing the heating system (underfloor heating) for the ground floor in this room is not planned and also not desired.

Here my restraint is clearly limited ;-) If the WT or WÜ are planned in the utility room on the upper floor, which should present considerable difficulties to just run two pipes from there to the ground floor to supply a conventional heating circuit distributor for the underfloor heating intended there.:confused: If such small things already fail, quite a few things seem to be amiss here. ;-)
Basically, professional advice/comments are probably rather unwelcome here, as they could undermine own ideas. Experts call this resistance to advice. Therefore, good luck with this project!

regards

Hello €uro

Thank you very much, as is well known, you can never have enough luck. Apparently, we even need it to get a simple answer to our question of whether and to what extent the manifold for the underfloor heating emits disturbing operating noises. We are well aware of a general noise development, which is why we exclude the utility room on the 1st floor as the installation location, since bedrooms and children's rooms adjoin it and we do not want operating noises in the immediate vicinity during sleeping hours.

I do find it quite interesting what difficulties are seen from a technical point of view in this project and that it is assumed that we are almost knowingly heading for our misfortune and that as advice-resistant noobs we simply do not want to see it, but unfortunately, this kind of "consultation" is neither constructive nor helpful.

Perhaps you as an expert or another user are still able to answer our sincerely meant question despite all possible complications. Even if only out of pity...

Thanks in advance.

Marico
